How to extract .inf/.sys install files?

Question

Hello,

I have a .inf file that install a .sys file from the windows xp system folder when the user plugs an USB hardware. I would like to trace the files that the windows auto-install on the system, so I can develop an automated installer that doesnt bother the user. Any ideas?

Thanks

FileMon monitors and displays file system activity on a system in real-time. You could use it.

But Windows wouldn't allow to copy files in system32 or drivers directories. You should use Driver Install Frameworks API to install the driver.
